Article ID: 147643 - Last Review: August 17, 2005 - Revision: 1.5 Versions of Quattro Pro Supported in Microsoft ExcelThis article was previously published under Q147643 SUMMARY
The Help file for Microsoft Excel states that Excel can open all file
formats that are generated by Quattro Pro for Windows, and that for MS-DOS
versions of Quattro Pro, Microsoft Excel opens only Quattro Pro for MS-DOS
version 5.0 files.
This information is incorrect. Excel 7.0 and Excel 97 can open Quattro Pro for MS-DOS files (*.WQ1) and files from Quattro Pro for Windows, versions 5.0 and earlier (*.WB1). Microsoft Excel cannot open Quattro Pro for MS-DOS, version 6.0, files (*.WQ2) or Quattro Pro for Windows, version 6.0, files (*.WB2). Supplemental Quattro Pro converters are available on the OfficeUpdate site: http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/9798/quatt97.aspx
(http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/9798/quatt97.aspx)
